We've been fishing with mark for some mangroves for snook, grouper, redfish, seatrout, etc. for about 10 years now! Have caught a giant grouper with him too. He is a patient and friendly guide who we rely on for our annual spring trip. Highly recommend him!

Had fished with Mark twice now and we nailed it every single time! My sons were happy and they enjoyed the trip. I knew Mark would put us on fish and he did not disappoint. He knows fishing southwest Florida as well as anybody, probably better than anybody. Thanks Mark!
